Veronica is a person who believes in many things, all connected by the word "beauty". I'm in love with history, human culture and ancient traditions. Expecially I have a dream: States can find an accord coloured as nature if they recognize beauty of everyone. I'm only a poet, only a young fool, but I think we are all an amazing-Amazon! I aspire to be chosen because I always had few things... but I have too much love and creativity to give. My couriosity can "fix up" the most beautiful landscapes as a timeless dream of humanity.

Florence or Venice?

Well, I must tell you something about my Country! In Italy I've been almost everyway, but my favourite city is Florence. You must know that I live in Venice, a similar place for many aspects. So what do they have in common? They're both an "open museum", they're both elegant and provincial cities, at the same time; touristic and amusing. But the atmosphere it's really different. I find Brodskij's Venice sometimes too melancholic, while in Florence always felt at home and had great times, meeting a lot of extroverse people.

In Florence you can see the works of one of the best Renaissence painters, the monk Filippo Lippi, at Pinacotheque and Uffizi. His model was his lover, Lucrezia Buti, a beautiful religious woman.. read more about this story: it's very curious!

And finally there you can find Heaven's Door. It isn't a joke! There's an amazing golden door decorated with Christian stories, near Duomo. Enjoy!

J'adore Paris!

Paris is an aristocratic woman. I've been in Paris two time: the first, when I was only a child, I fell in love with Van Gogh's paintings at D'Orsay Museum. Now I'm a paintress and He's still in my blood. However, visiting Paris last year, I started with Père-Lachaise, where Abelardo and Eloisa are toghether for eternity and one of my favourite writers, Balzac, sleeps in glory.

I spent one day at Louvre and in the evening met Gerson, a friend who live in the centre (must remember it's better to not ask him where is a good restaurant!..). Geod it's another nice place, a spheric 3D cinema where I saw a documentary about dolphins. I saw also the street of Amelie!.. and much more: Montre Martre, Science Museum.. in a week end parfumed of elegance and sky.

3 weeks in Greece

Travelling is like dreaming: an open dimension, paradoxical and confused. For us it became a kind of “adventure inside adventure”, discovering away the beauty of our relationship.
With you I loved the Greece magnetic and pure, piece of earth pounding by the sea - smell of ancient glory mixed within oleanders, unstoppable chorus of insects, sea, white and blue sea: the colours of a flag.
In Greece everything seems to be slow and ipostatic. We've been in holy Delphi, where the oracles still advise; and magnificent Athene, sleeping in the car.
I really enjoyed the time spent in Mani: extreme south of Peloponnese, a red and lonely finisterre in which we celebrated my birthday. So we moved by moto in the place where Saffo died, in a desperate jump. Here finished without ending what I started: a magic adventure with my love.
